Book Description
Excerpt from The Heroine of the White Nile; Or What a Woman Did and Dared: A Sketch of the Remarkable Travels and Experiences of Miss. Alexandrine Tinne This little work has been written with a view of supplying the now loudly expressed demand for a literature for our Sunday-schools that will be both instructive and entertaining. Its truth is more thrilling than fiction, and its simple story stranger than romance. It is written mainly for our older Sunday-school children; but its pages may contain information and lessons that will not be without interest to any who may be inclined to know more of Africa, and of the strange career of a lady whose life was sacrificed to her intense desire to penetrate its wilds and its deserts, and be a herald of mercy to its persecuted and benighted people.

Book Description
Bold, headstrong, and fabulously wealthy, Dutch traveller Alexine Tinne (1834–1869) made several excursions into the African interior, often accompanied by her mother, at a time when very few European women traveled. The Fateful Journey follows her trip with German zoologist Theodor von Heuglin, which took them through Egypt and Sudan in search of adventure and unknown regions in Central Africa.. Drawing upon four years of research in the Tinne archives, and including never before published correspondence, photographs, and other documents, Robert Joost Willink presents a compelling account of their journey and its tragic ending. This exciting volume not only sheds light on Tinne's life and times, it also offers captivating insights into the world of European adventurers in the 19th century. An enthralling mix of adventure and careful scholarship, The Fateful Journey creates a powerful portrait of Alexine Tinne throughout her life, from her start as a rich heiress in the Netherlands to her end as the intrepid explorer who risked—and lost—everything on a daring, doomed quest.
